Happy Birthday To Me!!!!!

I felt the need to wish myself a HAPPY BIRTHDAY - it's my blog - I figured I could do what I want with it! Nothing wrong with that...right?

Mr. "S" and I are meeting my dad and brother for dinner tonight at the very yummy TEXAS ROADHOUSE!!!!

Mr. "S" ordered me a Piña Colada birthday cake from my favorite local bakery!!!! I can't wait to try this flavor out - I usually get Strawberry Bavarian with chocolate covered Strawberries! Like this one - this was my birthday cake 2 years ago:

I will try to remember to get a picture of my cake tonight!!!

Crawfish Boil

Last weekend Mr. "S" and I went to a Crawfish boil at a friends house - the weather was horrible! It rained for at least two days straight!. We managed to make it to the party despite several roads in the area having high waters! It's amazing what people will do for Crawfish! HA!

How many of you know what a crawfish boil is? For those of you that do not know what a crawfish boil is - Click HERE! <--- It really looks like that!!!


Jason, Me, Mr. "S" and Niacole

Jason and I have been friends about 14 years. Niacole is hopefully (fingers crossed) his future wife - I just love that girl - they are so RIGHT for each other!

Just thought I would share a pic from the weekend!

Fishing & Fun in the Sun!

Mr. "S" uncle was down from Indiana. Sunday morning after I cooked breakfast it was time to head out to the boat dock to do some fishing!

Mr. "S" caught the first fish!

And the 2nd fish! And the 3rd-5th!

Pop's caught a fish!

Poor Uncle Gary - He didn't catch not one fish! He was getting a lot of bites but that was it!

Me fishing!

Me and Uncle Gary

This was the biggest fish of the day!

Pop's caught a fish

Now we are moving on to Mr. Dare Devil Pop's and his golf cart craziness!!! Pop's thought he could drive his golf cart down this steep hill to get to the boat dock. Mr. "S" and I parked our golf cart at the top of the hill.

Well, he made it to the bottom of the hill - it's a good thing for the mud or else he might have drove right off in the water!

He is checking for any damages! No damages - just a lot of mud!!

Breaking out the chains and ropes! It's time for the truck to pull it up!

We are trying to get the golf cart back up the hill!

It was such a muddy mess!

Uncle Gary is pushing while Mr. "S" steers!

As soon as they made it to the top of the hill the chain broke lose - they had to hurry up and grab the golf cart before it rolled all the way back down.

It was an adventure that is for sure!

Where I've been and What's new

I'm soooooooooooo sorry to the ones who really care!
I will TRY and get back on track next week!
I've had so much going on - you just wouldn't believe! Keep on reading and I will tell you alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll about it!

Mr. "S" Ohio family was here for our wedding reception from April 3rd to last Thursday April 9th - which was wonderful! Lil Miss "H" was here too!!!! We had soooooooooooooooooo much FUN with her!!!!! I do have pictures but that will come later! I don't have very many pictures from the reception party - my head was soooooooo up my butt that day - I'm waiting for friends and family to share their pictures with me and then I will pass them on to yall!!!!! Let me just say it turned out great!!! The food, cake, weather, decorations, friends, family - it was perfect!

Last week I was driving into work by myself (1 hr each way) - working 1/2 days - just to get billing (A/P or A/R depending on which day it was) done! Then I would go back home to hang out with Mr. "S" daughter and family! I think there was like 20 family members that came down from Ohio! It was great - just very very very busy!

I was off work on Friday for Good Friday! That was a busy day! I told the lady (where Mr. "S" family was staying in one of the neighborhood lake house rentals) that I would clean it since I was off - that way Mr. "S" mom didn't have to pay the clean up fees! I was at that house 1/2 the day on Friday and I didn't even finish washing the bed linens! UGH!

Last Saturday?
Oh yeah - I was sick!
I think I caught a bug from all the Ohio people (they showed up sick and 2 people ended up in the ER on their stay)! I had a BAD headache and a BAD stomachache!
I woke up early and was back in bed by 9:30 and slept till 3pm!
I was supposed to work at Lowe's (10-7) but I called in for the whole weekend and then I just ended up quitting! I feel bad BUT......I just couldn't do it anymore! It just wasn't worth it! Like one of my friends told me - there needs to be some sort of life/work/family balance! I wasn't getting any balance - my life only consisted of WORK and it SUCKED! =( So I'm back to being FREE on the weekends!!! Woooooooooooooooo-Whoooooooooooooo!
I was putting in 60-70 hours each week! It was killing me!!!! It's soooooooo not worth it!!!!!!

Easter Sunday - Mr. "S" and I went shopping! Went to Garden Ridge (we had a $100 gift card from Christmas) we bought a new patio umbrella, black wooden letters that spell out last name (I'm going to hang them over the front door in the living room) and a few other things!

So there ya have it -
That is where I have been and what I've been up to!!!!
Now there is no need to miss me...lol...I've caught you alllllllllllllllllllllll up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been crazy busy at work! Which is a good thing! Job security!!!!!

Oh yeah - we got our Internet up and working at home but our freaking power supply that goes to my laptop stopped working it just made a buzzzzzzing noise - I was freaked out thinking it was going to blow up or something...lol - I'm waiting for the new one to come in (it should be here today or tomorrow)! So the computer is just sitting at the house DEAD! =( boooooo-whooooo - It always seems to be one thing or another!!!

I'm excited about this weekend!
Saturday at 12:30 we have a crawfish boil "PARTY" to go to! =) FUN FUN
Saturday night we are meeting up with some friends at a local bar for a biker fun run thing they are doing. It's a benefit for a friend of there's that is has some medical conditions! They will have a band and BBQ! Sounds like a GREAT party to me! I just hope the weather hold up! I think it's supposed to start raining today and go through the weekend!

Sunday - we might go up to a lake about an hour away from us to see my dad and brother! They are fishing THIS huge bass tournament!!!!!!!!!
